Even the Rift dev kits DK1 and DK2 accounted for more than 150,000 units. The PSVR had nearly reached a million units back in Feb... GearVR salse have surpassed 5 million.....
What was it you were saying? Oh yea, you were saying you don't know what the heck you are talking about.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I have had Surface Pro, Surface Pro 3, and now Surface Pro 4 and I put stickers on all of them. In every case, the stickers came off without hurting the tablet at all.
> the only reason anyone uses Windows is for compatibility with old software
That is utter BS. Yes that is reason some folks run it, but that would only be small portion. A huge number of users use it because that is what is on cheap computer by default and/or that is what their previous computer had.
The only computer I have at home these days is a Surface Pro 4, so Rift & Vive don't interest me at this point.
After following posts by/about John Carmack for years I figured if he plays Minecraft on the GearVR weekly, the experience must be pretty good. A refurbished Galaxy S7 ($300), a X-box One Bluetooth controller ($60), and a GearVR ($99) later and I am a happy camper.
GearVR is admittedly VR-Lite since it does not have positional tracking (only rotational) and uses a non-VR controller, but it is pretty amazing and 100% wireless. So far MinecraftVR and videos use up all the time I have for VR.
The graphics are just place holders. The important part is getting the infrastructure into Windows to support AR/VR on every computer running Windows.
The Rift also does not have a third generation Kinect attached to it that can scan your environment while doing inside-out tracking without any external cameras/base-stations? That is what all the devices from MS partners will bring to the table.
How is there even any wiggle room? If you distribute a app that contains GPL code, you must make your source code available, period.
Folks in general tolerate a little lag between app release and code release, but if you actually want to follow the spirit of the GPL, your source should be available at the time of distribution because you don't really have a fully valid license to distribute your GPL containing work until it is.
Does it come with a disclaimer that says.. "When you get punched in the face because of these glasses, and you will get punched in the face because of these glasses, you cannot hold SnapChat legally responsible because you are an asshat."
ROFL - the tiny contingent that cares enough about full CPU feature support for Win7 to do anything about it will have zero effect aon MS's bottom line.
Why do people even bother posting Windows/Microsoft stuff on Slashdot any more? The comments are always a useless shit-storm. Millions of use Windows, it is sad that we have to elsewhere to actually find useful discussion.
Steam asks the user to elevate so it can finish setup. It doesn't do it as a regular user. Of course it also doesn't work properly if you don't let it do what it wants.
LOL.. Read again... this feature lets you send/receive SMS on Windows 10 on your computer by linking with Cortana on your phone... works just fine with my Android phone. This has nothing to do with Windows 10 Mobile.
Yes, they can. The legal ability for a company to fix mistaken online prices after the fact was established early on.
If the mistake is a small one, they will often opt to skip the PR hit and let the mistake stand but they do have the legal right to fix thins.
It is much clearer with physical products. They will usually find and fix problem before a physical product ships. In most cases the give the buyer the option to choose to pay the correct price or cancel the order. With games, because the game it tied to an account, they are able to revoke your access to the game, just like they would not-ship a physical product.

This is much more likely ....

The Surface keyboards have been held up well. They are not going into this blind.
> So, yeah, phasing out Win32 in favor of Windows store apps is Microsoft's wet dream
Where have you been? They have been putting wrapped Win32 apps on the Windows Store for a long time now.

It all depends on what you want out of VR.

That is true, if by "us" you mean a tiny minority of Windows 10 users.
Again, RTFA before you post.There are outstanding taxes on all the land because NO ONE is paying them.
Um... we are supposed toworking to make sure that everyoneis compensated equally for their work race, gender, or religious belief.
Are you saying that giving one group20 WEEKS of extra paid time off is compatible with that ideal? What are you smoking?
We do not know for sure, but my guess is that if never will be a profit center. They will charge just enough for it to pay for itself.

Yea, cause Microsoft should own one if of possible USB device that could be plugged in.
They are called edge-cases for a reason.
ROLF! It is being used to manage tens of thousands of Exchange and SQL servers around the world. Yea, it must be flaky.
Careful your ignorance is showing.
When did you slashdot become the last bastion of gumpy old men who hate change?
I have not seen an actual discussion on here in months. Everyone is too busy telling everyone else to get off their lawn.
I agreed with you until I read this: http://doc-ok.org/?p=1172
Language is mutable, adapt or become irrelevant.
Thanks for contributing absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you don't like Windows, don't use it.

For now. Remember that Apple has killed many apps for "duplicating built in functionality." It has happened many times.
